OpenLimit eID Server

The eID Server is the link between AusweisApp and the website, i.e. between the citizen and an online service provider. It is the trust-creating entity in an identification process using the new personal ID card on the Internet. The eID Server verifies whether the service provider is allowed to query data from the personal ID card and if the ID card is real or has been reported as being stolen. It encrypts and signs personal data to ensure that it is handled confidentially during transmission. The eID Server is designed as a logically independent server so that it can be used by multiple Web applications. It features multi-organisation capability and can be leased to third parties as a service. As the manufacturer of AusweisApp and a specialist in the field of electronic signatures with many years' experience, OpenLimit offers you well-developed components for operating an eID Server.
